    Use #1 being most important, etc. In order, how would you rank these?

    Salary
    Job security
    Benefits
    Challenging work
    Working with other people
    Work schedule
    Commute time
    Advancement possibilities
    Company social activities
    Company size
    Travel
    Location (big city, suburban, etc.)

    For me:

    Benefits (the only reason I'm not retired yet)
    Salary
    Job Security
    Travel (vacations, not on-the-job travel)
    Location
    Work Schedule
    Commute Time

    The rest (advancement, social, size) I don't care about.

    1. Salary
    2. Work schedule
    3. Commute time
    4. Location
    5. Job security
    6. Benefits
    7. Advancement possibilities
    8. Challenging work

    I would add to your list "Job Satisfaction" (ie: work that you enjoy doing; liking the people you work with; having a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day; etc). That would probably rank number 2 for me. If I had a job licking stamps all day or scrubbing toilets, I'd probably quit after so long regardless of 'salary' or 'benefits'.

    I don't consider any of the following things to be significantly important at all:

    Working with other people
    Company social activities
    Company size
    Travel

    The ones that matter most to me in order:

    Salary
    Benefits
    Job security
    Work schedule
    Commute time
    Location (big city, suburban, etc.)

    I opted for a 4-day week as interim to retirement, which I cannot afford to do.
    I still use company health insurance which is cheaper than Medicare.
    I need to be within biking distance from work - Public Transit takes more time.

    Salary and benefits. Everything thing else is secondary.
